Make the next owner clear on every content issue
When a CMS request names an owner and a GitHub issue, Notis can make the handoff visible in GitHub.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add assignees to an issue
Adds or removes assignees for a github issue; changes are silently ignored if the authenticated user lacks push access to the repository.
Why this helps
A named owner in a CMS request can still leave the GitHub issue without a clear person responsible for the next step.
- Keeps the named owner visible on the related issue.
- Cuts down on manual handoff steps.
- Lets the team spot unassigned work sooner.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agility CMS and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to read the CMS request and add its named owner as an assignee on the referenced GitHub issue; include the repository and issue number in the request.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request that names an assignable GitHub user and a valid issue.
Questions about this workflow
What information should the CMS request include?
Include the GitHub repository and issue number, plus the username of the person to assign.
What if the named person cannot be assigned?
GitHub may ignore assignment changes when the authenticated user lacks push access, or reject an invalid assignee. Check the run report and repository permissions.
Can this assign the issue based on a person's name alone?
Use a GitHub username in the request so the intended assignee is unambiguous.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Agility cms to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Agility cms triggers
GitHub actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
